Where can I get one cheap locally without going to the dealership? Please advise.

 

i read on the forums canadian tire has them. i havent had time to look yet but if you do decide to go there for one, plz let me know how it is. Thanks

 

Alot of people said the Honda Element locking gas cap will fit, and I think you can get one from Canadian tires

 

Hmm I thought i posted earlier..maybe i was dreaming laugh.
Unless the Fit in Canada is different than the states, (as far as the tank size and pipe running from the outside to the tank) it would be near to impossible for soemone to siphon gas from the newer hondas. There is a cross piece down in the tube further than the nozzel reaches that blocks a hose. The only thing that would work would be a tube the size of the ones coming off the windshield wipers. And even if they used a hand powered or electric siphon for it, it would take them forever. That isn't coming from the dealer, that is coming from my mechanic after I was asking him to get me some extras (at wholesale) for the car.

 

Got mine from Open Road Toyota - Richmond (P/N C0170-00020) locking fuel cap for the "FJ" for $23.00 plus PST/GST.

 

Well, that's all fine and dandy if you're worried about someone stealing your gas, but how does that prevent anyone from putting anything into your gas tank??

 

Just do what me and Bengolf did. GO to Toyota and grab one for about $25 CND

Well see.. I wasn't thinking of someone putting stuff IN the tank, just taking it out grin.

 

Update: The locking gas cap we brought has been working fine since the start; no problems.

 

Thanks to Ben and Toy yoda, I bought mine from Open Road Toyota today... just wonder... how do u guys install it? Do you cut the wire from your car?

 

Just pry off the plastic loop from the filler neck leaving it attached to the original gas cap. You will want to keep this part in case you want to reinstall it when you sell your car.

 

It's not fine cuz you have the BLING'ass Mugen fuel cap cover j/k

 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

If no one knows about it, it won't get stolen!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry I am kind of confuse... So the lockable gas cap from Open road toyota is for Honda Fit? the toyota sale honda parts? or toyota parts is able to fit with the Honda Fit?

MeowmeowCat

 

if anyone wants to buy a HONDA locking gas cap I have one for sale, only used couple times, located in TO

 

Youuuuu traitors, buying Toyota parts for your Honda...you should be ashamed!!

 

Does anybody know where I can purchase one locally? I went to Middlegate Honda today and the salesman had no idea what I was talking about. We went to the service/parts department and they said they've never heard of that before.

 

Auto parts store- most 1st. gen Fit owners bought their locking caps from after-market manufacturers.

 

Ask for the element locking gas cap.

 

u can order these through G5 in richmond. call them 604 278-4339.
